Friend of mine (@sh1ppwrekk on twitter) drew me some art of my lass Ina and i love it

[nikko-ask-blog]

so not a lot of people following this blog know that im making a game and that's a crime /lh /j

In case any of you are interested, i have a powerpoint that explains stuff about my eventual video game, Nikko! Pls check it out, this game has been in my mind for 7+ years at this point and i appreciate any sort of interaction :3

(Thanks to @spicypumpkincurry for dressing up Ina for halloween! She won't be losing her way any time soon, even if she isnt one for scissorblades)

(Mod Mimi here, figured I'd just say something)

(Sylvana is an asthmatic)

(Not really much else to say, theres not a lot of asthmatic game characters (the only one i can think of is Ninten from mother 1/Earthbound 0/Beginnings) and it's interesting to have a character who can run that fast have asthma issues)

(dont worry, unlike ninten this ISNT gonna be an annoying game mechanic)

Can we still use the questions with numbers?

(go ahead!)

[nikko-ask-blog]

Ooooo how do the daggers work? Like, with the electricity and all

Sylvana: Oh hell yeah. These bad boys were specifically carved from a special electricity-conducting gem in my world. Combine that with my electricity magic, and you essentially have 2 tesla coil daggers. Hope thats not too shocking of an explanation for ya.

dae shakes someone's hand and accidentaly crushes it

Dae: Unfortunately, i have done that to Miss Ina and Miss Alice before. Luckily, though, I've learned to control my strength!

[nikko-ask-blog]

is it uncomfortable to wear shoes that have metal in them?

Ina: Well, they're only at the bottom. If you're wondering if they're heavy, honestly i don't even really feel the weight anymore.

[nikko-ask-blog]

do they prefer tea or coffee?

Ina: I have a bit of a tea preference.

Sylv: Coffee, easy.

Alice: Tea!

Kuro: Coffee.

Shiro: Bit of a toughie, cant really decide.

Dae: Tea, my mothers both made it amazingly!

Nexus: Tea, though coffee isnt bad either.

Fen: Tea, thank you.

[nikko-ask-blog]

(To make this blog alive, i figured I'd drop some weapon lore:

Ina wears sneakers that have bits of metal in their soles. This is because her fighting style uses a lot of kicks, and it allows her to fight against other weapons without worrying about getting hurt as much

Sylvana has blue crytalline daggers that can store electricity inside of them, and can be connected by what is essentially a chain of electricity. This allows them to be usef as a way to conduct electricity.

Alice has a pink knife that almost looks like a kitchen knife. It can control the winds and allows her to hit from a distance and drag her enemies around, almost like a whip.

Kuro and Shiro primarily use revolvers. They have rounds that allow them to channel their magic into them. However, they'll occasionally use other gun types. Kuro in particular using more agressive ones like smgs, and Shiro taking more of a sniping role.

Fen is a heavy hitter and uses a mace and a shield. Her fighting style is very tanky and counter-heavy, blocking everything that comes her way before hitting back extra hard.

Dae doesn't really do weapons, but she does wear fighting gloves and brass knuckles. Being the heaviest hitter on the team due to the strength of her people, she doesnt exactly need one.

Nexus isnt big on weapons and prefers to use magic, but he has a book on him. It barely even does anything, but at the very least he isnt defenceless if he somehow cant use magic on something)

number 1 for everyone?

1: Lowest amount of time characters can sit still without doing anything

Ina: Not long, probably like a few minutes.

Sylv: Honestly? A pretty long time. Probably a solid hour or 2.

Alice: I don't sit still!

Kuro: Decently long.

Shiro: Not super long, but its not impossible for like 15 minutes.

Fen: Hours, i think.

Dae: Probably only a few minutes at most.

Nexus: Quite a long time, I'd say.

(Got some art of Dae today from a friend (the same person who drew one of my Ina arts and Kuro and Shiro)!!! She looks so good so i figured id post her here!)

[nikko-ask-blog]

Cheesed to meet you?

Sylv: Cheesed to meet you as well. If you want more cheese fun, this is gonna brie fun.

12 and 13, idk who to ask for though so i guess anyone could work

(I guess I'll do alice? Not many know about het and i think shes solid)

(At the beginning, Alice is incredibly childish but still a good kid, wanting to help her sis and mom take down the first boss to spend more time with them. At a massive pivotal moment (after a failed time reset, long story) she goes crazy, shes wanted to find out and connect to her past for so long and its gone because Ina wanted to protect someone totally worthless in her eyes? So she, in her craze, joins the villains side and decides shes going to weaken Ina and Sylv so its impossible for them to stop the final boss from his plan. She gets stopped, and finally gets her senses back, but practically cries her eyes out over the whole situation.)

[nikko-ask-blog]

Oh! Um– Ina?

(repeat on question 11)

(Starts off as a girl who tries hiding her emotions all the time, causing herself to break down and burn herself sometimes, but through plot she learns that its ok to not always have everyone's emotions on her shoulders. Shes willing to open up to others more, instead of her just essentially being the group therapist)

Number 11!

11. Character growth

(Uhhhh... do you want one for any specific character?)
